Thants!IZgeXR9w82 - Mon, 02 Sep 2019 16:00:21 EST OgX3IMCXNo.609999 Reply Had a streptococcal infection/abscess in my basillic vein once, my arm had swollen up 3x its normal size and I just about lost my right arm from the elbow down (and actually just about outright died from sepsis). Idk if OP's pic is realistic. IME there is generally a lot more swelling and in the final stage of the pic it's like the main character from the movie wasn't even trying to find a vein. Was kind of just like "may as well stab this rig anywhere in the crook of my arm for optimal junky effect!"

Requiem for a Dream is a pretty shit representation of the life... Except for the Ass to Ass thing. That happens a lot okay.

>>609970cant give u a good answer but ime most people who lose/damage their arms do it because they shoot up something stupid (shooting metadone, not filtering etc) and get the damage more or less in one go>>609970

Opening scene dude goes to the bathroom and you see him snort a powder and I assumed he was a coke head but zooms into his face and eye pupil pinpoints.

Was a really fucking weird movie but a decent watch. Thought Nick Cage was in but can’t find it on his filmography. Guess it was someone else.

DrFeelsGoodMan!psUx8WBMWI - Sun, 08 Sep 2019 02:57:48 EST ZYHpFVwPNo.610133 Reply >>609970I've never had an infection this bad, but sure, i've had misses before. It happens. If you think this is bad though, check out the people that shoot crock.

it's grossly fucking inaccurate. i've never done heroin before but even i know the shit being depicted in that film is retarded and not even remotely in touch with the reality of a heroin junkie's situation.

the only thing it got right was "you will steal stuff to get money for heroin". everything else is complete garbage and bullshit.

also the end how the two characters get locked up for no reason other than one of them has an infected arm is retarded. you can't go to jail for "having a junkie arm" its not like they even had drugs on them or were busted with heroin they were just withdrawing.

its a horror movie used to terrify people by exaggerating what will happen if you take perscription adderall or become addicted to opiates. its just an ugly and shitty movie and not in a good way.

Most heroin users don't have noticeable tracts. Using clean needles in different spots every time can make it impossible to see. Using old/dirty needles in the same spot over and over again can very much be just like depicted. And some people do it. In some places, syringes can be extremely hard to come by depending on local laws. Some other places you can have them delivered in minutes for free with added goods. The other thing, using the same syringe in the spot can be very tempting as it may become pain free, and consistently delivers a vein. The familiarity can become great enough that you could do it wearing a blindfold. I had about 10 spots where I can get a vein within seconds. If its not one of those spots, it may have taken me 30 minutes or more, and hurt puncturing the skin quite badly.

There were other times when I did everything as safely as possible and followed all harm reduction. All this is past tense. I don't do any of that stuff any more.
